Loganair is to shelve flights from Teesside to Heathrow and Southampton due to a “significant increase” in the costs of running the services.

Kay Ryan, Loganair’s chief commercial officer, said she was “extremely disappointed”

The airline and airport said a recent rise in Heathrow’s take-off and landing fees coupled with the surge in global oil prices affecting aviation fuel had made the Heathrow route “unviable”, confirming it would end in two weeks.

Loganair’s Southampton service will also be stopped as a result of the Heathrow cancellation as it cannot be accommodated on the carrier’s remaining aircraft.

Passengers booked to travel to Southampton will be offered alternative flights or a full refund, while those bound for Heathrow will receive a full refund.
